Bare Escentuals - Rare Minerals, & bareMinerals Skin Care

From the creators of the amazing Bare Escentuals Mineral Foundation, comes the "new" bareMinerals Skin Care line. Right now, on the QVC website you can purchase the 30 Day 3 Piece "Try Me" Kit, which includes the Purifying Facial Cleanser, Purely Nourishing Moisturizer and Firming Eye Treatment. All for a special try me price of $22.36. What a great deal!!!

I currently use the Bare Escentuals Rare Minerals Purely Nourishing Moisturizer (LOVE!) and the Purifying Facial Cleanser (ADORE!)....these products are amazingly good. 

Nor sure if the RM Moisturizer is the same as the one in the kit, but just want to say that this Moisturizer ROCKS!  (Sorry no picture of the RM Moisturizer). The RM moisturizer is the first that I have tried that actually hydrates my acne prone skin w/out clogging or breaking it out. It is not greasy or heavy, and sinks into my skin immediately. I love love love it. I'm eager to try QVC's "Try Me" kit to see if the bareMinerals version is just as good, if not the same.

As for the Purifying Facial Cleanser, this stuff gets your face clean without stripping your face dry. It's gentle yet effective. A winner in my book. This cleanser can also be purchased seperately, full size on qvc.com.

I have not tried any of the eye creams yet...so no review on that just yet. I am planning on getting this kit and will follow up with a review :)

Leslie Blodgett will be on the Q (qvc) this weekend, one of her shows will showcase the skin care line only. It will be an exciting weekend for all of us BE/LB fans as we anticipate new goodies to drain our credit cards, lol.  Will you be watching? If you plan on purchasing the Try Me kit, please come back and let me know what you think of it!
